STRESSand ANXIETY – It’s no fun feeling like you’re “ON” all the time, can’t turn your brain off, and find it difficult to truly relax. Ongoing stress and feelings of anxiety can cause a cascade of health issues in the body. We will be your ally to make physical and lifestyle changes so your body and mind get the support they need.

WOMEN’S HEALTH– A woman’s body goes through a lot of changes on a daily and monthly basis. Whether it’s periods that are too long, too painful, non-existent, pre-menstrual issues, trying to get pregnant, need help through a pregnancy, or transitioning to menopause. We can help you comfortably navigate your body’s needs and changes to get you where you want to be.

HEADACHES– It’s difficult to think or function optimally when there’s a storm going on in your head. Low or high blood pressure, stress, muscle tightness, hormones, fatigue…we’ll listen to you to get to the root cause of your headaches.

PAIN– Whether you are an avid athlete, a weekend warrior, or someone who lives with chronic pain, we will use all the modalities in our toolbox to get you pain-free. We know that pain can take you “out” of your life, let us support your path of recovery to get back “in”.
